Javascript and jQuery

Guinness Enterprise Centre

3rd to 5th December 2012

This course is for people who already have basic web design skills and want to further their knowledge.

JavaScript is a vital component of modern websites and a core skill in front-end web development. It makes websites much more dynamic and responsive by updating small parts of the page at a time. It provides high-impact visual effects and animations. It infuses sites with the 'oil' that eases the user's experience and makes your website fun and compelling to use.

jQuery is becoming a must-have skill for web developers. Widely used across the web (at Google, Amazon, Twitter, Microsoft and many more), its simplicity, power and flexibility have made it incredibly popular. It revolutionises Javascript programming for HTML. You will learn how to add features including dynamic content, sophisticated effects and stunning animations to give your web project the user interface it deserves

We will guide you in how to use real-world HTML5 today. We show what you can reliably use with today's web browsers, as well as approaches for supporting older browsers. Practical demonstrations, examples and exercises bring the new features down to earth so you come away with experience gained through practical application.
